Education programs for out-of-school adolescent girls in Ghana, Kenya, and Nepal

School enrolment and learning outcomes for children with disabilities
This paper presents findings from household data collected as part of the Annual Survey of Education conducted in rural Punjab in 2015, which included questions on disability developed by the Washington Group on Disability Statistics. Data reported here focuses on the disability status of children aged 5 to 16 years, their access to school and learning outcomes on basic reading and maths tasks. Our findings highlight that children who were identi…

This paper investigates the relationship between on-the-job mathematics skills acquisition and jobs that involve the handling of money in urban Ghana.

We argue that the process of job choice in Ghana allows us to identify causal impacts. The findings show that money han…
Parental Education and Child Health—Understanding the Pathways of Impact in Pakistan

This paper investigates some of the economic outcomes of education in Pakistan with a view to understanding if education can act as a vehicle for labour market success. Data from a purpose-designed survey of more than 1000 households in Pakistan are utilised. Earnings functions are estimated for agricultural workers, the self-employed and wage earners to estimate the returns to the ‘quantity’ and the ‘quality’ of schooling in different occupation…
Education Gender Gaps in Pakistan
Differential labor market returns to male and female education are one potential explanation for large gender gaps in education in Pakistan. We empirically test this explanation by estimating private returns to education separately for male and female wage earners. This article contributes to the literature by using a variety of methodologies (ordinary least squares, Heckman correction, two‐stage least squares, and household fixed effects) in ord…
